Mike said, "That's perfectly fine. With your brother's good looks, I'm sure there will be girls who will pursue him. Even if he can't find a girlfriend, you can still find a boyfriend."Layla was silenced.Hayden put down the knife and fork with a sullen face. "Boring."After Hayden left the table, Avery followed, having completed her meal.Due to jet lag, she wasn't feeling too well.She tidied up her bedroom and then lay on the bed.She turned on her phone, intending to text Tammy Lynch that she was back.However, dozens of messages from Elliot Foster greeted her instead.She froze for a moment, before opening up the messaging box.Everything he had sent was Layla's pictures in Dream City earlier in the day.In each photo, Layla's smile was bright and she was full of joy.After browsing through all the photos, she saved the better ones in her gallery. She exited the messaging app.She didn't know what to say to him. The time they parted at the airport seemed like it was only yesterda

While passing by a fine dining place, Tammy's eyes were attracted by a luxury car parked outside the restaurant.Tammy had an idea. "Avery, let's splurge on a nice meal!"Avery was looking at her phone when she responded, "Sure thing. Let me treat you."Tammy drove the car near the entrance of the upscale restaurant and stopped the engine. After getting off, she gave the key to the valet.Avery put away her phone and noticed the restaurant. "Oh, this place. I've been here before. The food is really good.""When was it? I haven't had the chance to visit it much! Not only is the price high, but we also have to make a reservation in advance. Otherwise, you won't even get the chance to taste their signature dishes."Avery thought about it, and her face was hiding her feelings. "It was with Elliot.""Oh, no wonder! A person like him would visit all the expensive spots. I guess when the two of you were dating, you have checked in at every single high-end place in town.""Not to that

Avery's head started to hurt. "If you didn't have it in the kitchen, you could have just told me that. Why did you have to go to him about it?""I'm so sorry! I thought that you were very close to Mr. Foster as you came here with him before. Your friend seemed upset, so I..." The manager said.Avery interrupted him. "How much is the dish?""It's been paid for by Mr. Foster," the manager said with a smile, "You can transfer the money back to him if you don't want to accept it. The price of this dish is 58888 dollars.""???" Avery had known that this restaurant was famous for the red lobster and that it was more expensive compared to other restaurants, but she had not expected this to cost so much.Seeing that she was stunned, the manager immediately explained, "This red lobster is different from the rest. It's top tier and we haven't caught a red lobster with such high quality for a really long time now."Avery took a deep breath and waved at him. "I get it."Once the manager lef

"When I say take care of him, I don't mean to let him do whatever he wants; I mean to increase the level of difficulty in his studies so that he can learn more... He is my son, so he should be just like me, which means the harder it gets, the faster he grows.""Alright. We will keep you posted on matters regarding Hayden's study from now on.""Yeah. The tutor I hired will be here tonight. I will provide you with his contact and he will take the elite class to participate in the International Hacking and Programming Contest," Elliot said.He had laid out the path for Hayden to become the best on the international scale. He had no expectation as to how much his son would earn, but he believed that to be Hayden's target as well; as a father, he had to work hard to help him achieve it."You are definitely a good father, Mr. Foster. It's a shame that Hayden is too young to appreciate what you've done for him," the man said, "He will understand someday when he grows up.""I hope so!" El

Tammy was just mocking the fact that Elliot had to pay with his card. She had not expected that it wasn't his bill he was paying for, but theirs. Though he didn't speak to them at all, he had paid their bills.Avery hurried to Tammy and said, "I'm going to go out for a bit. Wait here for me."Before Tammy could react, Avery was already striding out.As she had expected, Elliot was waiting outside the restaurant. It seemed as though he was certain that she would come out to find him, and the feeling of being manipulated brought a frown to her face.Their eyes met and he instantly faced her.Emotions boiled within her.'Did he think that sending me my daughter's photos and paying my bills are going to erase everything that had happened?' She thought.She stood by the restaurant's door and unlocked her phone, before locating his account number and making a transaction.Once she had completed transferring all the money for the restaurant's bill, she headed back inside without looki

He let out a breath of relief when he heard her response. He didn't want anything; he just wanted her to speak to him."You didn't reply to my messages." He felt so clumsy when he was standing before her."Then don't send me messages." She gave him a cold look and got into the car.The red BNW's engine rumbled and turned swiftly, before racing off into the distance.Once they were on the highway, Tammy asked, "Avery, have you fallen for him again? You look just like me when I couldn't sleep for nights in a row."Avery lowered her head as she was not in the mood for a discussion."I checked Elliot out carefully just now and realized that he sure maintains himself well! He looks so handsome for his age that he doesn't even look any different from the first time I saw him..."Avery interrupted her and said, "Tammy, how old do you think he is?""Forty?""Probably not that old." Avery scowled. "Definitely not forty. I should know if he is.""Why? Is there supposed to be a grand ce

Her lashes trembled as she was surprised by how obedient Elliot was.He was never a man who would listen to her under all circumstances back when they were deeply in love with one another.Elliot was a man of principle and he would never let her pay or accept her money for whatever they had spent outside, so she didn't think that he would accept her money despite his principle.But he did, which meant that he was willing to forego his principles for her sake. If he continued to be this obedient, it would be extremely hard for her to not fall for him...."Elliot, stop looking at your phone already! Avery isn't replying, is she?" Ben tapped Elliot on the shoulder and passed him a glass of wine inside the VIP room."She did." Elliot set his phone down."Did she really? Call her out, then. If you manage to get her here, I will believe that she's replied." Ben stared at Elliot's phone."She has work tomorrow.""Don't we all?" Ben exposed his lie boldly and said, "If she really did

Avery was overjoyed at the compliments she received. Upon arriving at her office, she spotted a bouquet of red roses on her table and the smile on her face instantly froze.It was not an ordinary bouquet; it contained at least ninety-nine roses and had taken up the space of over half of her desk.Only a man would send a woman ninety-nine roses when he was trying to pursue her.She placed her purse on the table and ran her fingers through the petals to find a hand-written note, which said: 'you are forever my goddess'.Elliot's face instantly appeared in her mind when she saw the note.Who else would send her such an enormous bouquet along with such a cheesy note? She could tolerate him fawning over her in private, but doing so in her office would affect her mood to work.In Sterling Group, it was time for the weekly meeting on Monday.The managers entered the meeting room once Elliot arrived into the office.After having too much to drink the night before, ELliot woke up with a
